I will try to locate them , it was quite some time ago > But if memory serves me , we used the same data as the 180 gr. sil. bullet in the sil. / ruger / TC section of the manual  SPEER .
Back then alot of expermenting was going on some good some bad .
I was mostly shooting the max. in a TC a friend shot the mag. in a sevill and a FA's , the DW had a long cyl. like the sevill and could use the longer bullet and its crimp groove . Can't remember if the FA gun had long enough cyl. to allow that . Thanks for reminding me of alot of fun times !

Would just like to share a load I took out of Handloader Magazine.  158 Hornady on top of 19.0 gr. Lil Gun.  That load really moves out and is accurate without high pressure.

Took my .357 Carbine to the range last night to shoot up an odd number of factory loaded Remington 125gr JHPs (x100 Green Box from WalMart).  I was surprised how well they shot.  I thought they would shoot lower than my 180gr loads, but in fact they shot a bit higher on the bulls-eye,  Chamber dimensions aside, I really like how my .357 Mag barrel shoots bullets as heavy as 180gr and now down to 125gr.
